Re: Stop using dorkslayers.com RBLs now

["R. DuFresne" <dufresne () sysinfo com>]

I was wondering how long before someone mentioned some of the snippityness
of verisign lately.  They seem to be upset over the use of the
geektools.com and thur.de whois querying tools:

-- From: whois.networksolutions.com:43

WHOIS

...

it was broken for a short time, then apprently fixed, not sure if this fix
was on the verisign end of the thur/geektools side.

Thanks,

Ron DuFresne
